"Master, my surname is Zhao. However, my cousin Wu Gui is a good person, but he is too soft-tempered."
Qingwen was upgraded from illiterate to an artistic young woman. Not only did she read a lot of books, her speech also became cloudy and difficult to understand.
Yuzhu is a talented scholar and the best among men, so he can naturally hear Qingwen's subtext.
To put it bluntly, Qingwen's father is nothing, and she would rather take Yuzhu's surname of Zhao than mention her original surname.
Moreover, the two people coming from outside were Qingwen's cousin and cousin-in-law. However, she only mentioned her cousin, but not her cousin-in-law.
This shows that Qingwen doesn't like to see her cousin.
"Someone, go and invite Aunt Qing's cousin here." Yuzhu didn't mention Wu Gui's slutty wife.
Soon, Wu Gui was brought in.
In this era, cousins could intermarry.
According to feudal etiquette, married cousins must meet across a screen before they are over forty, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Yuzhu knew that Wu Gui was quite good to Qingwen, his cousin, so he ordered people to remove the screen to avoid suspicion.
After Wu Gui came in, as soon as he saw Yuzhu, he knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said with great respect: "Little Wu Gui, please kowtow to the Marquis. May the Marquis be blessed."
Yuzhu saw that Wu Gui was very observant, so he said kindly: "Come, please sit down and serve tea."
Wu Gui and Qingwen are uncle's cousins, and both are slaves bought by Lai Da.
However, Qingwen, who was extraordinarily handsome, was very lucky. When Lai and others took her to see Mrs. Sun, she was spotted at a glance.
Lai everyone deliberately brought Qingwen to see Mrs. Sun, just because he was thinking about dedicating Qingwen to Mrs. Sun.
Since Mrs. Sun has taken a liking to Qingwen, everyone is naturally happy to honor Qingwen.
Not long after Qingwen entered the Cao Mansion, she was transferred to Yuzhu, but Wu Gui had always been Lai Da's servant.
This Lai Da was originally a slave, but relying on the power of the Cao family, he actually lived a good life with many slaves.
As the saying goes, when a person attains enlightenment, his servants will also ascend to heaven.
Where would Wu Gui dare to sit?
He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Is there any place for a little person to sit in front of you... Hou...?" He clenched his right hand tightly, looking extremely cramped.
Yuzhu personally came to receive Wu Gui, just to give Qingwen face.
After the etiquette was done, Yuzhu stood up, turned to Qingwen and said: "I have to go to see guests. Well, your cousin comes to see you for the first time. No matter what, I have to keep him in the house.
Let’s go home again for lunch?”
Qingwen smiled sweetly and said, "Sir, you can feel free to go see the guests outside." As her eyes wandered around, she felt a breathtaking aura.
Yuzhu suppressed the itch in his heart, took a square step, and walked straight away.
In the outer study room, Zhou Quan, accompanied by more than a dozen of Yuzhu's single-handedly appointed officials and supervisors, were gathering around the brazier, eating tea, cracking melon seeds, and chatting.
"Jade is so handsome!"
Following Wu Jiang's low shout, everyone in the room immediately stood up and faced the door respectfully.
When Yuzhu stepped into the room, the old subordinates unanimously saluted and said respectfully: "My lord, please be safe, Marshal Yu."
"Get up, we are all our own people. Now that you are here, there is no need to be formal." Yuzhu turned to Wu Jiang and told Wu Jiang, "Go to the kitchen and prepare more roasted mutton. They are all meat-free.
guy."
"Hey." Wu Jiang agreed and exited the room.
In the new army, there have always been two sets of military salutes.
Among them, bringing your legs together, touching your heels hard, raising your right hand, and pointing diagonally at your temples are the etiquette during daily training.
As for asking for greetings from Zha Qian, hehe, it is also indispensable.
Because you never know when the old emperor will send princes and ministers to inspect the new army.
No matter how great a hero is, he must first confuse the old emperor when he is still young.
Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and Liu Bang was invited to the Hongmen Banquet. They were all helpless actions due to inferior strength.
If Han Xin had drawn his sword and stood up, he would have been slaughtered like a chicken!
The people present are all Yuzhu's direct descendants and confidants among his confidants.
Yuzhu asked everyone to sit wherever they wanted, and everyone was very obedient. They gathered around Yuzhu and sat down individually.
"Do you have officers on duty in your camp?" They are all soldiers, so Yuzhu naturally mentioned the issue of duty.
Lu Wu grinned, cupped his hands and said, "Commander Yu, the military discipline in our new army is extremely strict. We dare to come out without leaving anyone to guard the camp. Does that mean we don't need our heads?"
"Yes, yes, Marshal, if there is no one on duty in the camp, no matter how much you like us, you will chop off our heads and use them as chamber pots." Ma Qingfang showed his wit and immediately made Yuzhu laugh.
The line infantry tactics and strict military discipline of the modern army are the core soul.
During the American Revolutionary War, the scattered farmers were beaten to pieces by the well-disciplined British lobster soldiers.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the arrogant French who sent troops, money and weapons to help the country bumpkin farmers defeat the British army, America's so-called independence would have been delayed for a long time.
Zhou Quan, who was on the side, saw everyone and Yuzhu chatting and joking intimately. He couldn't help but shake his folding fan, and thought of the famous saying with joy: The emperor, the one with strong soldiers and horses should be the one who has the talent.
This sentence comes from "The Biography of An Chongrong" in "New History of the Five Dynasties·Later Jin Dynasty·Biographies Thirteen".
Translated into vernacular, it means: political power comes from the handle of a knife!
Zhou Quan is not an ordinary person. He was able to pass the provincial examination and rank within the top thirty, so he must be full of economics.
What surprised Zhou Quan most was that all the officers in front of him could understand written military orders.
You must know that the officers of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp of this era were mostly reckless men who could not read a few words.
The selection of troops under the Eight Banners does not look at cultural level, but only emphasizes two things: riding and shooting.
The same goes for the selection of soldiers in the green camp.
Therefore, mid- to senior-level officers in the Eight Banners and the Green Camp were surrounded by senior officers who would help them read official documents or military orders.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuzhu naturally knows the situation in the New Army very well.
Today is the New Year's Day, and Yuzhu doesn't want to talk about military affairs. He just asks his old subordinates one by one, "How comfortable is your life? Do you have enough money? Are your wives virtuous?"
Niu Tai said with a smile: "To be honest with you, Master, I live outside, so I am thinking about the delicious food in the house."
There is no way, Niu Tai is Yuzhu's haha bead, only he dares to call his master and slave.
Yuzhu and Niu Tai have talked to each other many times. However, Niu Tai is obedient in everything, except when it comes to names, he is particularly stubborn.
Alas, Yuzhu had no choice but to let him go.
In the past, Niu Tai lived in the guest room in the outer courtyard of Long Mansion. Later, when Yuzhu bought land and a house for everyone, he also gave Niu Tai a small building and asked him to move there.
A trusted officer is not a slave and must respect the personal dignity of his subordinates.
Think back then, during the Great War in the Central Plains, why did Feng Huanzhang, the most powerful person, collapse instantly?
Isn't it just that you treat your henchmen and subordinates as your slaves, beating them and scolding them whenever you want without caring about the situation?
The strangest thing is that at that time, Han Fuju was already the commander of an army.
Feng Huanzhang actually ordered Han Fuju to kneel at the gate in front of me during a military meeting.
As a result, the opponent only gave some money and promised territory in Shandong, and easily bought Han Fuju over.
Lu Wu and Ma Qingfang looked at each other. Alas, there is no way. Who said that the qualifications of the two of them to follow Yuzhu are far inferior to Niu Tai?
No matter how envious you are, it's all envy in vain.
Opportunity and good fortune are things that can only be met but cannot be sought!
Zhou Quan, who had been keeping secretly, had noticed the secret interaction between Lu Wu and Ma Qingfang.
Alas, the encounters in life are really unpredictable.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Yuzhu took the provincial examination in the same year, Zhou Quan would definitely still be suffering in the bitter cold of Ning Guta.
The so-called exile of Ning Guta, making the armored slaves!
Don't look at the punishment, which is only about ten words. Only the person involved knows the blood and tears in it.
Just because they were in the wrong team, the Zhou family, which was originally able to call the shots, went from being a high-ranking official family to falling into hell overnight.
If it weren't for Yuzhu's secret care, every one of the young women in Zhou Quan's family, from Zhou Quan's wife to the little girl, would have lost their virginity.
Alas, Zhou Quan saw with his own eyes how a young woman who was publicly insulted by an armored man endured the humiliation and survived in order to have one more bite of cake for her own son.
Zhou Quan will never forget Yuzhu's love and care.
It is no exaggeration to say that for the sake of Yuzhu's great cause, Zhou Quan dared to break the law!
At noon, Yuzhu accompanied his old subordinates, had lunch, and returned to the inner study with a glowing face.
As soon as Yuzhu entered the door, Qingwen jumped into his arms like a baby swallow jumping into the forest, and tightly hooked his neck with her hands.
"Little darling, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Yuzhu knew Qingwen's temper very well.
"Master, I would like to ask you to buy my cousin into our house. Huh, that bitch is trying to attract bees and butterflies everywhere. My cousin is too cowardly. He only dares to hide and drink in secret. He is not like a big man at all.
Man." After Qingwen read a lot of books, even when talking to Yuzhu, she had to hide her words.
As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Even a big-faced girl can indulge Qingwen into tearing off a fan, let alone a jade pillar with a belly that can hold a boat?
"Oh, are you just asking me to help you with something like this?" Yuzhu did not agree immediately, but deliberately manipulated it to let Qingwen perform well.
As a result, under Qingwen's initiative, Yuzhu enjoyed the woman's tenderness freely.
After bathing, he lay back on the kang.
Under Qingwen's obsession, Yuzhu stretched out comfortably and said with a smile: "It's up to you. Tomorrow, I will have someone go and take care of the matter."
"Well, I'm so kind. I just want my cousin to come over." Qingwen was, after all, a well-established literary young woman. After calling her cousin a bitch once, she never mentioned her again.
Seeing Qingwen looking at him eagerly, Yuzhu couldn't help but gently put his arms around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's all up to you. Let Wu Gui divorce or divorce his wife, and then come over to reunite with your brother and sister. I
Is that correct?"
"Hehe, you know all about my thoughts." Qingwen laughed playfully and rolled into Yuzhu's arms.
